Bichon Frise:  The Family That Plays Together Stays Together

We’re all familiar with the old saying “all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy”. Well the same thing applies to you and your relationship with your Bichon Frise. When you and your Bichon have fun together it greatly increases the chances that you will stay together. Because your relationship isn’t just the daily grind of responsibilities and caretaking. Your relationship with your dog is not just one way with you as the master and your Bichon as your pet. When you let go and begin having fun with your Bichon Frise by doing activities together in a playful way you enhance you and your pet’s relationship.

Sometimes we get so busy working, taking care of business and chores that we forget to make time to have fun and just play. It’s a well known fact that people who relax more are healthier and happier. Plus by engaging in exercise and physical activities with your Bichon you are keeping him/her more engaged and less bored so less likely to develop behavioral problems.

What does your Bichon Frise like to do? What are his/her favorite tricks or games? What dog doesn’t enjoy going for a walk? You may enjoy running, hiking or playing catch or frisbe with your dog and you are exercising together. What about free play in a dog friendly park or with another dog and master? Well-socialized adult dogs are great teachers for dogs with less developed doggy social skills. Most importantly just have fun if you’re having fun chances your Bichon Frise is too!
